Chapter 117: Loss of Martial Arts
Ye Lingchi recognized her voice.
Hearing Rong Le's name from Bai Sui'an's mouth, he was a little surprised. Reflecting on his current situation, he hesitated and said, "How are Rong Le and the others?"
"He is now Baili Mo's closed disciple. You should know Baili Mo, right?"
"know."
Ye Lingchi felt satisfied. His vigilance towards Bai Sui'an had not decreased, but he still chose to believe what Bai Sui'an said.
"Where am I now? Why couldn't I hear you just now?"
Bai Sui'an lifted up Ye Lingchi's sleeves one by one and checked his injuries: "I won't tell you this. Can you still stand up? I'll take you to the pool to soak for a while, then I'll change you into clean clothes and take you to see the people."
Ye Lingchi's limbs were so thin that only bones were left. His skin was white, but it lacked any color, and there were many cobwebs in his hair.
Although he couldn't see, his basic facial expressions were still in place. However, after listening to Bai Sui'an's words, he frowned and said, "I have a wife and children."
Bai Sui'an almost forgot how conservative people here are. He said helplessly: "If I don't change for you, you can go to the bar with your clothes on. After you're done, I'll ask Zhu Ying to change for you."
"Why not let him come now?"
"He can't come in now." Bai Sui'an was at a loss for words.
Anyway, Ye Lingchi couldn't see the modern facilities here, so he thought he wouldn't have to put in so much effort, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to speak.
It’s a bit difficult to get people to take a bath now. Bai Sui’an thought, this is her space. Logically speaking, she can let people appear wherever she wants, right?
The next moment, Ye Lingchi disappeared from his sight.
Bai Sui'an understood and went to check, and saw Ye Lingchi sitting in the bathtub.
Chang An was sitting next to him, playing in the water.
"Sister! Why is there one more person here!" Chang An screamed and jumped out of the bathtub.
Ye Lingchi was also confused: "Why is there water? Where is the dog barking?"
He seemed not to understand what Chang An said.
Bai Sui'an stepped forward, put in hot water, and explained: "Just soak here and rub your hair and other things. I'll let you out when you're clean."
The water quickly turned black. Bai Sui'an kept using water to flush Ye Lingchi and even scrubbed his hair with shampoo for a long time.
Ye Lingchi thought that he was causing trouble for others and said, "Why not shave it all off? It has grown a lot over the years and it might be difficult to clean."
"Okay." This was exactly what Bai Sui'an wanted. She quickly found someone and shaved off Ye Lingchi's hair and the beard on his face.
He was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, but Bai Sui'an still found some similarities in him.
Without the messy hair, he rubbed off the dirt on his body. With Bai Suian around, Ye Lingchi would not take off his clothes by himself, so Bai Suian simply asked everyone to leave and soak in the bathtub outside.
She pushed the door open and Chang An went out to play with the children at home.
The time inside the space was faster than outside. When Bai Sui'an came out, Ye Lingche and the others didn't have to wait long.
Seeing that Bai Sui'an had changed into clean clothes and looked much better, Ye Lingche asked with concern: "How is the injury? Did you use the medicine?"
"It's all right now." Bai Sui'an looked at the candlelight beside him and said, "Go find some clean clothes. The prince is taking a bath now. Come in and help him."
Prince? Bathing?
No? Where does the water come from?
Zhuying was dumbfounded. He looked at Ye Lingche and pushed him into the house first. "Your Highness, please go in and take a look first. I'll go find my clothes."
"No need, just wear mine." Ye Lingche said. He was helpless because he knew that Bai Sui'an didn't understand the difference between men and women. But when he thought about Bai Sui'an helping his royal brother bathe, he still felt uncomfortable.
Bai Sui'an sat leisurely on the bed outside to rest. Zhuying found some clothes and pushed Ye Lingche into the inner room. The window leading to the backyard was half open, and water vapor floated out.
This is too strange, this is even hot water?
Ye Lingchi heard the sound of wheels rolling and asked, "Is Xiaoying here?"
She heard what Bai Sui'an said just now, and also heard Ye Lingche's voice, but there was only the sound of footsteps. Thinking that it was Bai Sui'an who called Zhuying, she didn't notice Ye Lingche coming in.
I'm afraid Bai Sui'an will order me to do something else. That woman is a bit overbearing. Ye Lingche must have a hard time around her, Ye Lingchi thought.
"Royal brother, I'm here too." Ye Lingche took the initiative to speak.
The candlelight pushed him closer to the bathtub. He saw Ye Lingchi's eyes clearly from the front, which were empty.
"Xiao Che." Ye Lingchi called out. It turned out that it was Ye Lingche who came in.
"Can you really not see it?" Ye Lingche asked.
Ye Lingchi curled his lips and said lightly, "I'm afraid it won't get better."
Zhuying pushed Ye Lingche to a suitable place and was about to take off Ye Lingchi's coat.
"The imperial concubine shaved this hair just now, right?" Zhuying spoke in a low voice, afraid that the children outside would hear.
"Xiaoying is here too?" Ye Lingchi frowned, feeling something was wrong.
He reached up and grabbed the arm that had touched him.
Zhuying asked, "What's wrong? Let me take off your dirty clothes first."
Ye Lingchi raised his other hand: "Where's Xiao Che?"
Ye Lingche rolled his wheelchair forward and shook his hand: "I'm here."
"What's that noise? Why can't I hear your footsteps?"
Ye Lingche and Zhu Ying exchanged a glance, then shook his head and explained, "I broke my leg a few days ago, and the doctor said I couldn't walk, so Sui An gave me a chair with wheels."
"Will it be okay?"
"Will do."
In the past, Ye Lingche asked Bai Sui'an, and Bai Sui'an said that his leg would be healed.
Ye Lingche himself didn't think he would get better, but now that his royal brother asked him, he could only say that he would get better.
"When did you get married?" Ye Lingchi softened his grip and let the candlelight manipulate him.
Ye Lingche hesitated for a long time, asked Zhuying to close the window, and lowered his voice to tell all his experiences in the past two years. He concealed the fact that Bai Sui'an had treated the child badly in the past, and did not mention that he had been poisoned and unconscious a few days ago.
"After the Emperor's sister-in-law entrusted the child to me, she went to look for you. I haven't been able to track her down for all these years..."
Ye Lingchi was silent for a long time. When Zhuying helped him out and wiped his body, he said, "I'm afraid it has fallen into the hands of the people of Tianxuan Country... It's better not to tell Rong Le and the others about my identity. I am now..."
He took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You are more suitable to be their parents now. It's not that you really need children to burden you, but I am in this state... I really can't face them."
"Don't say that." Zhu Ying said helplessly, "I'll go and send a letter later, asking Cheng Xu to find Old Ning. Your eyes can definitely be saved."
Ye Lingchi shook his head: "Not only my eyes, but also all my martial arts skills are gone, and my true energy is gone too."
"what?"
